Questions and Answers

Which type of reproduction leads to the production of clones?

  • Both asexual and sexual reproduction
  • Only asexual reproduction (correct)
  • Sexual reproduction
  • Neither asexual nor sexual reproduction

    • What is the main difference between asexual and sexual reproduction?

  • Asexual reproduction involves only one parent, while sexual reproduction involves two parents. (correct)
  • Asexual reproduction occurs in unicellular organisms, while sexual reproduction occurs in multicellular organisms.
  • Asexual reproduction produces genetically diverse offspring, while sexual reproduction produces genetically identical offspring.
  • Asexual reproduction requires the fusion of gametes, while sexual reproduction does not.

  • Multicellular organisms in unstable environments
  • Only unicellular organisms
  • Unicellular organisms and some multicellular organisms in stable environments (correct)
  • Only multicellular organisms
